1 month since pre-op diet started, 9 days post-op and I've already been able to put my wedding ring back on without having to oil up my finger. It is now sliding off and on with ease! This morning's NSV was slipping on a pair of size 24 pants (not struggling with buttons or zipper), down from a 28!!!

I had a couple today. Shopping related because y'all know how much I love shopping. Okay, first one ran by Kmart because it's Saturday, BLUE LIGHT Special every 20 minutes in different departments. JOE BOXER PANTIES 5 for $15 While I was digging through the bin looking for my size and the "hipsters". This lady said "oh goodness those are adorable, but you definitely do not need a large size." Boy did that make me grin from ear to ear. I still bought the large because my tummy fat is not the cooperative and I didn't want these super adorable panties to sit in my drawer until I could wear a medium. 2nd NSV - KMart again, had major clearance on some "wintery" apparel. I decided to venture into the little knit sweaters that look kind of clingy and tapered at the ribcage. Not only did a medium fit, but they (I bought 2 normally 19.99, got each for 9bucks) are HORIZONTAL striped and guess what, for the first time in my life I realize that horizontal stripes don't make me look fatter. If anything, these particular stripes around 2 inches wide, make my waist look super tiny ! ! ! We also went to a store called Cato. I bought this super cute casual jacket/casual blazer to wear with jeans and tank top, and 4 other tops. Total shopping damage for the day, 5 pairs of panties, jacket, and 6 tops for $60! ! ! Total overall mood for the day = ELATED.

I've had a few NSV... They are almost as good as seeing the scale move down. I can wrap a towel around my body! I am less out breath when I go up the stairs! When someone sits next to me on a bus, I don't feel like I'm taking up all the room! Woo hoo!

I think it has been close to 2 years since I posted an NSV. The jeans that started out as comfortably snug and progressed to sausage casing and finally unwearable are now comfortably snug again and the bra that started out as overflowing, became empty requiring "chicken cutlets" and then verged on overflowing again, now fits reasonably. yay for small victories.

Went shopping with my bestie today. Headed straight for the size 12 pants even though the size 12s I already own are loose. I just couldn't imagine that I could wear anything smaller, so I wasn't even going to try on a smaller size. Well, guess what? The size 10s were a little loose, too! This is a literal NSV because I made this discovery in a week in which I lost no weight.

My closet was full of black clothing at my larger size. Had to wear black today. I'm working at a funeral (NSV) I tuck in a shirt and was able to wear a belt.

NSVs are hard to come by these days for me, but yesterday it happened. I did 4 hours of yard work. We have about 1.5 acres, and it's been over 3 weeks since we were able to mow (damn rainy weekends in Florida). Anyways, I mowed, trimmed hedges, trimmed our large tree in the front yard, and cleaned out the mulch so I could replace it this year. We have a riding lawn mower and it only takes me about 1.5 hours to mow so that was a breeze. But, all the other stuff was pretty intense. The tree I trimmed was a boogar, and then I drug all the big branches into the bon fire pile. Some of those branches were 4-6 inches in diameter & some of them were about 8-9 feet long, and I trimmed them with a hand saw. The tree was growing into some power lines, and it had to be trimmed before the power company gave us notice. I raked the front yard, and cleaned up all the mulch. The husband got home, and was shocked that I was able to get so much done. He thought I had paid someone to come do everything. I just laughed at him, and told him that I did it all. NSV came when I realized that I was not dying from exhaustion, I wasn't sore from all of the work, and I felt so good that I showered, and went to John's softball game. Pre-op I would have never done all of that without taking several breaks, and being absolutely worn out. I didn't stop for those 4 hours, and was hellbent on getting it all done.

1. I had to take $100 out of the budget last week and go to ROSS and buy new dresses, nothing fits anymore. 2. The clerk at my local grocery store stopped and asked me how much weight I've lost. 3. I feel amazing!!! LOVE NSV shout outs. Thank you!

BIG NSV for me today!! I started at 24/26 in pants and I'm down to XL or 16/18 in tops, but the shorts/pants just weren't getting there because of the tummy. My work out shorts were getting too big, but didn't seem like they were big enough to drop a size yet. But, this morning I tried on one of the two pair I bought on clearance a couple of weeks ago... and I'm disappointed because the smaller size of the two fits me. I'll never get to wear the bigger one. Oh, yeah... the old shorts were 2x. The new ones are XL, not 1x. Guys don't get it, but the gals here will for sure!

Nsv for me was going back to my hometown yesterday I'm only 12 days out but down about 50-60 from my all time high. Everywhere I went people told me how good I looked and how proud of me they were. It felt awesome and was motivating! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Loving this thread! I think the NSVs might even be more rewarding than the scales because they are tangible. Had my first experience of not being able to put the armrest all the way down on a recent flight because of these bloody hips...SO demoralizing! So I am eagerly awaiting that particular NSV (and many others!), as so many have described. Great job y'all! Happy dance for the NSVs!!

Vegas, I also just bought matching bra/panties. My reunion was last night, and I wanted to buy new under garments. They make you feel so pretty, even though nobody else can see them. Well, I found some darn cute matching panties and bras at Fashion Bug for the 1/2 the price at LB's. They are sooo much fun and I am starting to feel attractive again. Oh, and one set is fushia, one is purple, and other teal. I keep them on lingerie hangers because it makes me feel so good to be able to wear these things. LB's 14/16 were too big for me..unbelievable...I never thought that would happen so quickly. Another NSV..went shopping today at Walmart..need some kitty food and just cruised through the Women's dept looking for bargains..I got dirty looks from the women working there..everything was too big for me. Isn't this world funny..when I was a size 22/24 I got dirty looks for being so big, now I get dirty looks for not being that big. I guess we will just have to get used to it. We are going to get so skinny that we are not going to be able to stand it! LOL Oh..and started the recycling pile too. Now the clothes that are too big are cute and actually purchased within the last 3 mos. The clothes I ditched were gross..the elastic was so stretched out on the waistband I had to hold them together with a safety pin..they were polyester, so I couldn't hold a funeral for them, because they wouldn't burn, just would smoke like rubber tires..had to toss them in the dumpster..OH WELL!! LOL

Summer NSV! Had a great day with family and friends on the Boise river today. We rented innertube's to float the river. The park staff called my name to pick up my equipment. He handed me a child's life jacket to wear. He said the adult size would not fit me.

WOW!!! That is one of the greatest NSV's I've seen on this board!! I would not be able to keep that one quiet either!! Wow!! Congrats, you! You have a great kid. C

how great is that stoongal. . .those are the NSV's i can't wait for! I think i had one today too, as i was sitting in the doctors office waiting on my vitamins and minerals order, a man sat down beside me and started up a conversation.. . he said you look good, have you lost a lot? I told him 20 lbs today, he asked when i was sleeved, when i told him 9 days ago, he nearly fell out of the chair, the look on his face was amazing. . .he just stared and kept saying you look so good! I could feel myself super blushing cause i haven't had a man say that to me in a good long while!

I am almost 4 weeks post op. Although my NSV's are not as huge yet, I can say that: I'm down 31 lbs Friends and family can SEE the difference in my face and chest. Measurement wise I am down 2 inches in both waist and hips, AND 4 inches in the chest. Although I haven't tried on jeans yet, I can tell a difference in the stretchy waist pants I've been wearing. And when I went to buy new sports bras last weekend, I have gone down a size (huge accomplishment). My next appointment is tomorrow and hopefully I will be cleared to do more exercise as I was told to walk 30 min. a day... Only! However, I am so pumped with the weight loss right now that there are not enough words to describe my excitement and motivation! Especially since I have done every diet imaginable and countless exercises in the past and lost nothing. Granted my thyroid problems haven't helped, but this surgery is helping me to change that and get back to a healthy weight.

NSV shout outs

Congratulations everyone! I reached my first big goal. 50 lbs gone! 50 to go. But great nsv's: *No longer hurting when I wake up in the morning!!!! *Seat belt doesn't jam up anymore *Size 20w pants fall off! *Sat in a movie theater seat with extra room! *My eyes show in pictures *I have a defined neck again -
Tiffy that is funny! I have never tried to float. I haven't been in a bathtub since my daughter was born 28 years ago and my mom said I could't take a shower cause I just had a C section and I might fall down. The best NSV by far for me has been my ball room dance classes. It's so much fun and there is no way I could ever have done this 100 lbs heavier! I am having a blast and dancing makes me so happy!

My apologies as I seem to have understood it incorrectly. It was explained to me that the scales may not always show a loss, but your body is still changing, especially for example, when you exercise more, and exchange fat for muscle. And I certainly found it useful when I had the occasional unexplained 'stall' over a few weeks with very little weight lost. The NSVs (ie nothing to do with the scales!) are very heartening and kept my motivation high when it may well have dropped away.

My NSV is getting off of my blood pressure medicine and giving clothes away as I change sizes. Before when I dieted (I've lost 120 pounds and 90 pounds - gained it back each time) I saved the clothes knowing I'd probably need them again. Yesterday - they were donated to the Humane Society Thrift Shop. YaHoo.

I love everyone's NSVs! It's so inspiring! I can't wait!
